Abstract excerpt
Italian autochthonous turkey breeds are an important reservoir of genetic biodiversity that should be maintained with an in vivo approach. The aim of this study, part of the TuBAvI national project on biodiversity, was to use run of homozygosity (ROH), together with others statistical approaches (e.g., Wright's F-statistics, principal component analysis, ADMIXTURE analysis), to investigate the genomic diversity...
